Shrill Wind

A wind from the North is prevailin'

hot air that is blowin' from Palin

We aren't believin'

her reasons for leavin'

Perhaps she'll shove off and go whalin'On book tour she's hoping to goor TV to host her own show It matters not whereWe really don't careBut wish that away she would blow Though claims that she puts "Country First" on subject she isn't well versedHer family's creedwas once to secede*That's patriotism reversed

Over the years, Palin has actively courted the AlaskaIndependence Party, or AIP, an organization that supportsAlaskan secession from the U.S. To be clear, we're not ne-cessarily talking about friendly secession either: As the AIP'sfounder, Joe Vogler, told an interviewer in 1991: "The fires ofhell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the Americangovernment. ... And I won't be buried under their damn flag."

The McCain campaign denies that Palin ever joined the AIP. Butwhile it is in dispute whether she attended its 1994 convention,she did visit the 2000 one and addressed AIP conventions in 2006and 2008. Her husband, Todd, was a registered AIP member from1995 to 2002, and the AIP leadership certainly considers her oneof their own. -Rosa Brooks
